Newspaper analysis  We decided to call our newspaper 'The Generator' which supports our idea that we generate the latest news stories for people to be updated with what's happening around them. The Generator is a tabloid newspaper, which means it is less formal and more appealing to the eyes of younger audiences. It was decided that the masthead was going to be written in white as it makes it clearer to read, but also white refers to goodness or purity which reading the paper fulfils our readers minds with good news.  Our news stories were based on adverts linking to the town of Coulsdon but also includes stories like our main story " Beast from the East " which is related to a wide majority of the public the purpose of our main story was to highlight the major problems the snow had caused.

Secondly the contrast of colour for the male is more dull and unlike the females happy expression the male actor has a more harsher and confused look. The layout and design is not like most posters where for example there may be a key figure alongside a landscape behind. The font and typography can be described as quite thick, bold, and big. They only consist of a minimum of 3 colours, white, grey and yellow. However the use of yellow means that it highlights the important factors on the poster for example " Thief " can represent the genre of the film which could be partly action/crime
